Written and performed by Kim Coles and directed by Scotch Ellis Loring, this limited engagement will be presented today, October 4 -13 at The Laurie Beechman Theater at West Bank Café.OH BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!? chronicles the ebb and flow of Kim Cole's showbiz rise with Hollywood-insider stories, multi-media features and even an interpretive dance number! After Fox's hit comedy Living Single got cancelled, Kim realized that nothing compares to the free food, personalized parking space, and sweet perks of showbiz success. As pilot seasons came and went and residual checks all got spent, she had to break down in order to break through and find true meaning beyond the glitz and glam of the red carpet. With her signature sass and irrepressible, goofy charm, Kim presents a side-splitting show that will make you laugh and inspire you, too.
